CENSUS  OF  MASSACHUSETTS-1925 


GENERAL  INTRODUCTION 

In  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  Chapter  453,  of  the  Acts  of  1924,  a  census 
of  the  inhabitants  of  Massachusetts  as  of  March  31,  1925,  was  taken  under  the 
jurisdiction  of  the  mayor  of  each  city  and  the  selectmen  of  each  town  on  forms 
provided  by  the  Secretary  of  the  Commonwealth  and  in  accordance  with  his  in- 
structions. This  census  consisted  of  enumerating  the  inhabitants  of  each  munici- 
pality by  name,  address,  sex  and  age  on  family  cards.  The  cards,  together  with  a 
sworn  statement  of  the  total  of  such  census,  were  forwarded  to  the  office  of  the  Sec- 
retary from  each  of  the  355  municipalities  in  the  Commonwealth  for  verification 
and  tabulation. 

This  census  was  very  much  simplified  from  previous  state  censuses  in  as  much  as 
the  census  of  inhabitants  was  not  to  be  used  to  determine  the  number  of  legal 
voters  as  a  basis  of  representation. 

In  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  the  census  act  (see  Section  6  of  Section  1, 
Chapter  453,  Acts  of  1924)  the  special  enumeration  of  legal  voters  required  by 
Articles  XXI  and  XXII  of  the  Amendments  to  the  Constitution  was  determined 
by  obtaining  a  sworn  statement  from  the  election  commissioners  or  registrars  of 
voters  in  each  city  and  town  of  the  Commonwealth,  of  the  number  of  registered 
voters  in  their  respective  cities  or  towns  on  March  31,  1925,  specifying  in  the  case 
of  cities  the  number  of  registered  voters  in  each  ward. 

It  will  be  seen  by  the  limited  scope  of  the  census  as  set  forth  in  the  census  act 
that  it  was  the  intention  of  the  legislature  to  eliminate  statistical  data. 

The  following  tabulations  have  been  prepared  with  this  curtailment  in  view  and 
are  therefore  presented  without  the  usual  statistical  analysis.

Table  1.  —  Population  of  Massachusetts  for  160  Years,  as  determined 

BY  Census  Enumerations,  1765-1925. 

[The  Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts  covers  part  of  the  territory  originally  granted  to  the  Plymouth 
Company  of  England.  It  grew  out  of  the  consolidation  of  the  colonies  of  Plymouth  and  Massachusetts 
Bay.  The  settlement  at  Plymouth  began  with  the  landing  of  the  Pilgrims,  December  22,  1620.  The 
colony  of  Massachusetts  Bay  originated  with  the  settlement  under  John  Endecott  at  Salem,  in  1628.  In 
1643,  a  confederacy  was  formed  consisting  of  the  colonies  of  Massachusetts  Bay,  Plymouth,  Connecticut 
and  New  Haven.  In  1692,  under  a  new  charter  given  by  WilUam  III,  the  colonies  of  Massachusetts  Bay 
and  Plymouth  were  consohdated  as  a  royal  province,  including  also  Maine.  In  1780,  after  the  Revolution, 
the  present  State  Constitution  was  adopted.  In  January,  1788,  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States  was 
ratified  by  Massachusetts.  The  colonists  in  New  Hampshire,  in  1641,  as  a  measure  of  protection  and 
defence  against  the  Indians,  allied  themselves  with  the  colony  of  Massachusetts  Bay  and  remained  part 
of  said  colony  until  1679,  when  New  Hampshire  was  made  a  separate  royal  province,  Massachusetts  thereby 
losing  part  of  its  territory,  January  1,  1680.  The  territory  now  comprising  the  State  of  Maine  was  set  off 
from  Massachusetts  by  an  act  passed  March  3,  1820,  taking  effect  March  15,  1820.  By  the  Province  Char- 
ter of  1692,  certain  islands  now  comprising  the  county  of  Dukes  County  and  Nantucket  County  were  ceded 
to  Massachusetts  from  New  York  (see  county  of  Dukes  County).  Certain  common  lands  in  Berkshire 
County,  known  as  the  District  of  Boston  Corner,  were  ceded  to  the  State  of  New  York  May  14,  1853.  By 
a  settlement  of  a  boundary  controversy  between  Massachusetts  and  Rhode  Island,  certain  exchanges  of 
territory  were  made  between  these  States  April  10,  1861.]

Mashpee);  Berkshire,  221  (in  Stockbridge) ;  Bristol,  167  (principally  in  Dartmouth  and  Freetown); 
Dukes,  313  (of  which  188  were  in  Chilmark);    Middlesex,  37  (in  Natick) ;   Nantucket,  93;   Plymouth,  223. 

2  Includes  4,761  colored  population,  distributed  by  counties  as  follows:  Barnstable,  171;  Berkshire, 
216;  Bristol,  585;  Dukes,  59;  Essex,  1,049;  Franklin,  Hampden,  and  Hampshire  (aggregate),  245;  Mid- 
dlesex, 702;    Nantucket,  133;    Plymouth,  487;    Norfolk  and  Suffolk  (aggregate),  682;    Worcester,  432. 

3  The  discrepancy  which  may  be  noted  between  the  State  and  the  United  States  Census  figures  for 
1840  and  1850  is,  partly  at  least,  due  to  the  exclusion  from  the  State  enumeration  in  those  years  of  "paupers 
and  convicts  in  the  State  Prison."

The  net  land  area  of  Massachusetts  is  7,876.3  square  miles.  Accepting  the  same 
number  of  square  miles  as  the  area  of  the  State  for  former  census-taking  periods, 
we  find  that  the  Commonwealth  for  1925  contained  526.1  persons  per  square  mile, 
against  489.1  in  1920,  468.9  in  1915,  427.4  in  1910,  381.4  in  1905,  356.2  in  1900,

'  Estimated. 

*  By  the  Census  of  May,  1840,  the  population  of  Boston  was  84,401.  Mr.  Lemuel  Shattuck,  in  his  re- 
port on  the  Census  of  Boston  for  1845,  shows  clearly  that  the  United  States  Census  of  1840  was  incorrect. 

6  Included  also  in  the  population  of  Dorchester  in  this  year.  After  1855  Washington  Village  is  included 
in  South  Boston. 

6  The  population  of  East  Boston  (i.e.,  the  present  Ward  1),  05  usually  given  in  census  tables,  includes  that 
of  the  islands  in  the  harbor,  but  is  here  given  separately,  so  that  it  should  be  understood  that  the  total 
ward  population,  popularly  referred  to  as  "East  Boston,"  includes  the  figures  for  both  these  columns.

'  The  territory  of  Roxbury  and  Dorchester  was  not  kept  intact  by  ward  boundaries  in  the  ward  division 
of  1875.  It  is  difficult,  therefore,  to  give  the  exact  population  of  each  district  by  the  Census  of  1880.  The 
figures  given  are  the  result  of  very  careful  study  of  the  population  by  census  enumeration  districts,  of 
which  there  were  208  in  Boston  for  the  United  States  Census  of  1880. 

8  Population  of  the  islands  included  in  that  of  East  Boston. 

»  The  figures  presented  for  South  Boston,  Dorchester,  Roxbury,  and  West  Roxbury  are  carefully  made 
up  to  cover  the  geographical  area  originally  belonging  to  each  aubdivision.  The  lines  enabling  this  to  be 
done  were  not  exactly  observed  in  the  Censuses  of  1875,  1880,  1885,  1890,  or  1895.  In  each  of  these  years, 
therefore,  the  population  of  the  subdi\i8ions,  as  stated  in  the  table,  is  approximate  only,  inasmuch  as 
the  area  considered  under  each  head  was  approximate.  But  while  it  is  a  mechanical  impossibility  to  so 
lay  out  the  enumeration  districts  as  to  enable  a  presentation  to  be  made  of  the  exact  population  of  these 
subdivisions  following  their  original  boundary  hues,  in  view  of  the  greater  obligation  to  present  the  pop- 
vdation  by  wards  whose  boundaries  do  not  conform  to  the  original  boundaries  of  the  subdivisions  in  ques- 
tion, the  tabulations  for  these  subdivisions  are  presented  with  much  greater  accuracy  for  the  Censuses 
of  1900,  1905,  1910,  1915,  1920,  and  1925  than  for  preceding  censuses.  Comparisons  of  the  figures  be- 
tween 1875  and  1925  are  somewhat  affected,  therefore,  by  this  fact.  As  the.?e  several  subdivisions,  more- 
over, have  no  political  significance,  not  being  represented  as  such  in  the  frame  of  government,  and  have 
what  may  be  termed  an  artificial  existence  only,  the  tabulations  as  given  above  for  each  census  may  be 
accepted  for  all  practical  purposes  as  representing  as  approximately  accurate  a  presentation  as  it  is  pos- 
sible to  give.
